I recently told my TSS cousin on our mom’s side, Buff, that if I ever shot a music video for anything it would be a shot-by-shot, frame-by-frame, curl-for-curl recreation of Roger’s “I Want To Be Your Man.” He immediately responded with the above video.

Whether it’s the knee bobs, the mismatched attire, the seemingly aimless choice in location, or the complete harmony in total disorganization, this video might be the most well-performed haphazardness ever captured on film. It’s just so genuine. There’s an honesty in that the twins clearly planned their wardrobes together (Off-white coat, check… Tan tie, check… Brown pants, check) and showed up on set with something almost alike. And as for my man in the red coat… he’s on a whole other level from the second he puts down that paper and pushes away from the wall.

As Buff explained to me, “Do they all want the same girl? Do they ever catch her? And which twin ACTUALLY sung the verses? Who knows… well, apparently it was Scotty.”

Lest ye be distracted by the amazing video, the song is actually fresh. Jazzy as all get out. Give it a few spins to set your day right, then rock your finest red coat, pop the collar, and two-step to your next destination.

I have to apologize. I really don’t think I put it well enough into words just how much I love my man in the red.

Ol’ boy in the red was in his own world. I can see them keep cutting because he won’t follow the choreography, then just saying fuck it. Also, that looks some damn green screen work.

Isn’t that the gorilla that plays the keyboard at Chuckie Cheese?

I always thought that the twins reminded me of black Mario Bros. because of those thick ass mustaches. haha

With all that said…. this song WILL be played at my wedding this summer. Shit is classic.

The man in the red was definitely getting it from the start. He killed it when he came off the wall and bust the spin move

This is one of the greatest videos in Negro history. My man in the red is named Nicholas Caldwell, one of the group’s founding members and aka, the OG Epic Beard Man. One look at his dance steps and you too will agree that he is, indeed, a motherfucker.

I’ve watched this video a million times and often wondered what led to them puttin ol’ boy in the back like that:

OG EBM: “Yeah, niggas…..we finna shoot this video…I’mma be lookin right and my ‘ography bout to be TIGHT!”

Scotty: “Uhhh, yeah….about that….man, we gon need you to stand in the back cause you be all hammin it up onscreen and shit. I mean, me and Walter are the lead singers.”

One of these cats has smashed at least one of our older female relatives.

NOT UP FOR DEBATE!

There were some formations going at around the 3.20 mark yet all i could really see were the twins. I like this song….also, if only Scotty sings the verses why are both of them lip syncing? Is it a twin thing? Or does neither one remember who sung which bit? lol

lmao at Phonte and dude mentioning anchorman. Yeah you know dude in the red is havin a blast. Almost as much as the twins. I sampled a song like this the other day. Just looping up the parts at 3:50-3:54 i think would be hilarious.
